Shapley's MTG original, you only need a tiny, tiny bit, dilute it with another oil, it spreads alot, and it works great. I got 1.5" in a month 2 times at least, I was also taking vitamins, braided up and baggying too.
 
I got 1 inch in a month with MT but it made my scalp very tender and so I dont use it anymore, So I got really great growth for September and August.
 
I have an oil that I made which contains sulfur and MN. I use it once, sometimes twice a week. My normal growth without aids is between 1/8 and 1/4. With my oil, I get anywhere between 1/2 to 3/4. I'm pretty sure if I use 2-3 times a week with scalp massages growth would be a little higher.

Will be using my MTG once I get this LF back on. I need to get rid of this stuff.
 
Since my hair grows super slow I can get that 1/2 with the use of growth aid. This relaxer cycle I doubled up with MT and MTG so we'll have to see.
 
It varies... for Nov and Dec I got one inch combined which is pretty good because it's twice what I normally get. The winter is my slow growth and shedding time. The summer is when my hair can grow really fast. The most I've gotten during the summer was about an inch a month.
 
I get an inch per month. I started MT 8/25 and I had four inches of new length and lots of new growth in my blad spots in November.
 
When i start to use growth aids my hair grew 1 inch a month . I used a variety of different hair methods. Right now my hair is 18 inches long. I need 7 more inches till BSL.
 
I got 1 1/2 inch in less than a month. I use MT.

ETA: I just started using MT about 2 weeeks ago and my hair grows pretty fast anyway so I can't say definitively it was the MT.

I don't really know how many in terms of inches. I tried to figure it out and it came to 1.66 inches but not sure because I calculated again and it came to .5 inches per month. I will start to get more detailed with my measurements. I started MT on 8/25 I was SL and as of 1/25 I am BSL. And that was with a trim in October. So hopefully by Dec I am WSL and I will have more photo measurements of my hair. I will come back and confirm in Feb/Mar.
 
Okay, I just washed and stuff and its been 1.25" in less than a month. I have been using MT and drinking the egg shake stuff. HTH
 
Wow, girls thats great!!! Keep on growing!

TO the poster who is drinking the egg stuff, grow on girl! Don't think I can do the egg drink, but I will be adding a protein drink to my reggie.

*Topnotch...your hair is smoking! Go girl!

I pushing it, I hope I can be like you after 4 months. MT and the darn protein, protective styling and keeping my hair moisturized. Its a crazy goal but if I can be BSL for my graduation pics that would be amazing. What else are you doing and how are you using the MT?

Keep up the good growth. You will get there. What is your current length?

I use my MT full strength on my hair and scalp. I DC with my MT for 30 minutes, rinse, DC with ORS Replenishing then I use a 5 minute conditioner to smooth and soften the cuticle. I also leave some in to aid in moisturizing. I then seal with Sweet Almond oil and Castor oil on my ends. I also take vitamins and massage my scalp bent over during my MT DC and Scalp treatments to aid in scalp stimulation. I don't use direct heat and I rarely use the flat iron or curling iron. I'm aiming for 2" a month. We'll see. .5-1.66" per month is good enough I guess. :perplexed

CurlyMoo, I'm currently at SL, its a full SL though, Im less than 2 inches from APL. I do use heat. The oils and the moisture require me to wash my hair more often but I just ordered a hard bonnet dryer so I can rollerset, my hair is 2 different textures right now so air drying is not an option. Thanks for your tips. Its not just length I see after this month. My hair has never been this healthy without me going to a salon once a week.

Thank you girl! Bunning 24/7 is really paying off for me! :grin: And may I add that you hair is BEAUTIFUL!!!
 
I started MT about a week and a half ago (was taking MSM 1000 mg/day, which I upped to 2-3 last week), and I am ready to touch up my relaxer after only 5 weeks post. I can't tell the exact rate of growth, but I'd say I can probably expect .75/month or more the way it's going. I will definitely keep you ladies posted.
 
I take Biotin and sometimes I get 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch. Biotin makes the new growth and strong, but sometimes it's hard to manage, especially if you're stretching.
 
Well I decided to transition around Christmastime, and I have just passed the one month period at which I would normally get my relaxer. I have always used Lenzi's Request, MTG, and BT mixed together. I also use Lustrasilk Olive Oil Cholesterol Conditioner on my entire head from root to end, because it makes my hair looks really healthy and strong. My new growth is absolutely RIDICULOUS. In a month I went from NL to SL.
